The hunt for catching that needle in haystack candidate is not easy and even more so when you have a niche requirement. With your relentless efforts at times you may still not get the candidates with the right calibre. Thus, some organisations tend to rely on agencies to help them find talent that they desire.

While that may be a great alternative to get the Talent you’re looking for it is important to pick the right agency hence the question, “How do you find the right agency for your niche requirements?” was the What App Group Chat Wednesday’s Discussion topic of choice. As suggested by Laxshmi from the Delhi Whats App Group and here’s what we discovered…

There has been a lot of talk about Diversity Hiring with most of us as Talent Acquisitionists agreeing to the concept of Diversity Hiring. We’ve looked at all the possible aspects both positive and negative and have come to the conclusion that Diversity Hiring is great in all aspects talk about Growth of the company, retaining Talent so on and so forth.

Even in our latest annual event#TASCON16 we’ve covered this topic and have reached the same conclusion. But can this conclusion change when you bring the variable Gender in to perspective? Now that’s something to think about, fortunately we’ve gone one step ahead @SourcingAdda and decided to hold our monthly #SourcingChat on the topic, “Best Practices in Gender Diversity Hiring”. You’d be surprised at the responses we’ve received at least we were. And we’re sure that you too are excited to learn which the Top Tweets of the #SourcingChat were so here they are…
